Greetings! Please enjoy our Saints News! 

HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSING

You can catch a glimpse into a school’s personality by the dress up days and activities a Student Council plans for Homecoming Week. For each day this week, VCHS STUCO planned daily dress up days and afternoon activities. Although we attempted to keep an academic focus (right!), the week has been both zany and hilarious.

 

Dress up days included: dress as your type, salad dressing, grill dad v. soccer mom, modest mermaids, and Saints spirit. Afternoon activities included class dance, grade level volleyball tournament, faculty v. student basketball game, and a pep rally with each grade level showcasing its class dance.

 

Let’s talk about the class dance, a unique VCHS tradition. Beginning at the all-school retreat, each grade level works on its class dance and performs it at Thursday’s pep rally and Fall Fellowship Dinner. To pull off a successful class dance, students at each grade have to work together and really unite to pull off some Thriller type moves.

 

When are the class dances unveiled to the public? You must attend our annual Fall Fellowship Dinner tonight. This is another VCHS tradition hosted by Parent Association when all our students, parents, faculty and staff come together for a great meal to celebrate school spirit, announce the Homecoming Court, and watch class dances.

 

It doesn’t end there. Join us on Friday for Homecoming volleyball matches (C - 2:30, JV – 3:30, and V – 4:30) on the Cathy Alexander Court and then head over to the 7:00 football game at Homestake Peak’s Pat Phelan Field where we’ll be under the lights.

 

Homecoming Week culminates with the ‘Under the Sea’ Homecoming Dance on campus starting at 8:00 in Grace Auditorium. That’s when the Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned.

 

Saints school spirit and pride are alive and well. LET’S GO SAINTS!
